Stephen de Pencester
Stephen of Pencester was Warden of the Cinque Ports when the first authoritative list of Cinque Ports Confederation Members was produced in 1293.
Penshurst Place, near Tonbridge, is 32 miles to the south east of London, and was built in 1341 for Sir John de Pulteney. Known as Penshurst by 1072, between 1263-1346 the manor appears as Penecestre or Penchester, a name adopted by Stephen de Penecestre Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, who possessed the manor towards the end of the 13th century.
Stephen de Penecestre was Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports for 32 years, his tenure finishing in 1299 when the Baron de Burghersh was elected, it is reasonable therefore to assume he begun his administration in 1267.
